Rookie WR Harris sidelined in second half

Raymond Radway broke the left leg on the final offensive play. The Cowboys removed Dwain Harris from the game early in the third quarter after he showed concussion-like symptoms.

Harris, the fifth-round draft choice, was hit in the head while blocking on a running play. Harris complained of dizziness, and the Cowboys took him for tests. Harris said afterward that he passed the tests and felt no ill-effects from the blow to the head.

“They wanted to be cautious and didn’t want to risk anything,” Harris said. “I’ve had a lot of dings and bangs but never had a concussion before. This was a little different.”

Harris said he expects to be available for the opener, at the New York Jets on Sept. 11. He caught one pass for 11 yards in the 17-3 loss to Miami and finished the pre-season with six receptions for 138 yards.
